At one point, I participated in the six character fanart challenge, this was my submission
Whoo Whee! This was quite the task! I didn't expect it to be this huge, but I really wanted full bodies, you gotta show of those Nappies after all!
Anyways, I kinda want to do my thought process on each character and their difficulty to draw, from easiest to hardest! (Also disclaimer, I haven't played most of the games here, and I've never fully watched American Dragon, but I have played Okami HD, So I don't know much about these characters.)
This was surprisingly the easiest character to draw, as she is an anthropomorphic fox with a humanoid body, and I pretty much draw anthro canines on such a frequent basis that this was pretty natural for me. I drew, inked, and colored her in probably less than an hour!
Jake Long: Suggested by Mystery-Flecky I love the design of this character, it's so simple, yet cool looking! It's kinda a shame they dropped the big beefy Western dragon look for a more Eastern noodle design, I know it fits better, but I massively prefer the former. Honestly, this one's probably my favorite of the bunch! The only thing I had some trouble with was the muzzle and lower jaw, turns out Jake's dragon form has a dog-ish nose, huh...
You may think that for such a simple character, how is he more difficult than the previous two? Well, I had some trouble with his anatomy, the size of his head, and his weird Super-Sayan horn-hair, since I couldn't find a lot of clear references of this guy. but I sorted it out, and afterwards he was pretty easy.
This one wasn't as hard as I thought, I mean it has a lot of floofy bits on it, but in the end, Amaterasu is still just a wolf. And I have some experience with drawing feral canines, as seen on my DA.
Jackknife: Suggested by newling55 While he wasn't the hardest... I honestly started regretting choosing him for this. As my original sketch of him turned out pretty crappy, so I had to make a lot of changes during the inking phase, and honestly, I didn't have fun drawing him unlike the others, in fact I think I felt more frustration than fun... In the end it's my least favorite of the bunch, but I blame myself for this. Also I really needed a green character,
Midna: Suggested by [fa]iamthespideryoux3[fa] Okay, Midna turned out to be a lot harder than I expected, I mean her body was just fine, but that headpiece!? Oh my god, that took Forever! In fact 75% of my time spent inking her was just that hat alone! Also her face was fairly humanoid, which was something I wasn't familiar with, and I was worried it would look incredibly uncanny, I honestly thought this one was gonna turn out bad, but she turned out pretty alright, also I'm sure I got some of her tattoos wrong, but whatever...
